The Recent Coverage tab helps you understand what a journalist or influencer is currently writing about by displaying their most recent published content. Reviewing recent coverage is one of the best ways to confirm that a contact is relevant to your campaign and tailor your outreach accordingly.
🔹 Step 1: Find the Contact
You can access a contact’s recent coverage by locating them through:
A new Discover Contacts search
A Saved Search
A Targeted List
Locate the contact you want to review and open their profile.
🔹 Step 2: Open the Contact’s Recent Coverage Tab
Select the Recent Coverage tab from the contact profile.
Agility displays the journalist's most recently published content, allowing you to quickly review the topics they're actively covering.
🔹 Step 3: Review Recent Coverage
Each coverage item includes information such as:
